ADescrintion Of st. Anrnstlne.

st. Augustine is the oldest town in the
United States, having been built by the
Spaniards in 1865. 1t came into the pos
session of the United States with the rest
of Florida by the treaty with Spain in
1919, it having previously been in posses
sion of the English from l7G3 until that
date.
In the center of the city is fine square
upon which the Custom House, Postoftice
and old Cathedral front The Cathedral
was very large edifCe, built in 1898.
Next to it was a convent and next to that
the old Spanish slave market buildings,
which are now completely destroyed.
The principal object Of interest lately
was the old portions of San Marco, now
Fort. Marion, where the Apache prisoners
were confined. The walls of this prison
were built by slaves and were more than
half century in construction. The ma
terial used is a composition of small white
sea shells which have been pressed to-
gether by some curious process in nature,
and they are quarried out of the banks in
great blocks.
The chief business carried on in St Au-
gustine was the manufacture of palmetto
straw work The city was SO miles south
of Jacksonville, and is becoming n great
winter resort, tourists going up the st.
Johns river TO that place
Near the old Cathedral stood the largest
and oldest rose tree on the continent They
have pulled twenty-five thousand roses in
one season from this one bush.

The Paving Problem.

To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-Permit q comment or two on the
following extracts from an editorial in yes
ter.ay's IRteiligeRcer: There is no reason
to think that the patent blocks are worth
the additional cost, and there are good
reasons to believe that the block is less
serviceable than the hard burned fire brick.
The block is patented and can be had of
but one concern"
The only good reason for thinking the
fire brick better than the block is the
hatred entertained by Hart and the Presi-
dent of the Board OF Public Works for the
men who own the patent on the blocks.
The blocks and fire bricks have both been
used on our streets for several
years, and the only brick street
which comes near to equaling the
block streets is Chapline street between
Twentieth and Observation-Disclosures. This
pavement is laid on a board foundation.
This style of paving is covered by a patent
held by firm in Charleston and it was "a
save Wheeling paying a royalty of ten cent,
per square yard to this firm that the block
was invented and its use given to our city
free u royalty by the men who patented it.
Boom the old town" and those of heI
citizens who try 20 aid her advance.
A look at Alley Is; Twentieth street, be.
tween Market and Chapline; EOff street,
below Thirty-third, and the east side oI
Main, north Of Ninth street, all of which
were paved last summer and fall, will
show how much truth there is in Hart's
assertior that intelligence governed the ae
tiOn OF the President of the Board Of Pub,
lie Works in his selections Of bricks in
preference 10 the BLOCKS.

4 Great Crowd Present Al the Louisville Grounds

ship Seriss-Hard Hitting and Brilliant
Base Running the Features

LOUISVILLE, April l2.-The propitous
weather brought out large crowd to-day
at the Louisville Base Ball Park to witness
the fourth game of the championship series
bstween the Chicago and St. Louis clubs,
there being about 1000 people present.
The contest was nip and tuck" one
throughout and there was no telling
which way it would go until the last man
was out in the ninth inning. Hard hit
ting and brilliant base running were the
features rather than the fielding, though
the latter at times was sharp and superb.
Had the contest taken place in either Chi
cagO or st. Louis the enthusiasm would
have doubtless been unbounded, but here
the people were more critical than other
wise. The -four strikes" rule appeared to
lengthen and make the game drag some.
what, 1t being almost dark when COM
pleted. There was considerable pickering,
however, and several minor accidents
also occupied much time. Sunday,
Ryan, Anson and DAILY, of Chi
cago, distinguished themselves, the first
three by their heavy batting, and the last
by the plucky work behind the bat during
the latter part Of the game BuShong,
Robinson, O'Neill and Welch did brilliant
work for st. Louis. In the fourth inning
when the Browns were forging ahead Sun
day made brilliant catch running back
wards and taking in Latham's line hit to
centre and stopping the run getting. The
ChicagoeS became partially ratified in the
fifth inning. Darling and Pfeffer did some
wild throwing which, combined with
the st. Louis hitting, gave them
six runs. FOutz took Carruthers' place in
the sixth inning, the latter's hand being
split by liner. He was batted hard, the
Chicagos pulling up and tying the score.
In the last inning the ST. Louis came very
near pulling out. Iltham and Gleason
scored after making respectively a three
bagger and a single. Welch was caught,
however, between second and third after
making clean two bagger, closing an ex-
citing contest. Ryan and Daily were the
battery for Chicago during the latter part
of the game.

Danger From Floods.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April IA special
from Black River Falls says: The business
portion of the city is threatened with dis
astrOus flood. D. J. Spaulding's water
power building and a portion of Water
street were carried away last evening. The
east stone pier of one of the iron bridges
across the river has become undermined
and it is thought the bridge is doomed. If
the structure goes down it will carry with
it the Price Manufacturing Company's 3
sash and door factory, and endanger the
whole business portion of the city. The
loss now amounts to several thousand dol
lars. If the bridge and factory should be
carried away it will be swelled to from
$3.50 to 5000 Men are endeavoring
to form log jam to protect endangered
property.

Fires Also In Kansas

ATcHIsON, KAs, April 15.-No less
than fifteen persons have been burned to
death by the prairie fires which, starting
near Nicodemus, Graham county, have
swept northwest on an air line into Norton
county.
The fire has destroyed everything on
path that in places is from two and half
to seYen miles wide-a great roaring sea OF
flame, rolling in tremendous sheets under
the impetus of the high wind which pre-
vailed all day Saturday and night
Starting on the South Fork of the Solo
mon river, in Graham county, the fire
swept north to the North Fork, where 1t
crossed at Edmond, station. on the Cen
tral Branch Railroad in Norton county and
at last accounts it was stihsweeping north
west diagonally across Norton county in the
direction of Decatur, the adjoining county
on the west, carrying destruction and
death in its path.
Thousands of head of stock of all kinds
have been burned, and thousands OF tons
of hay, corn and wheat and from 100 to
IT'S houses and barns have been destroyed.
The people living along the line of the fire
have been left homeless and destitute.
1t is impossible as yet to learn the
names Of those who perished in the flames
Tremendous excitement prevails all
through the burnt district, which extends
a distance of over sixty miles in length
and two and half TO seven IN width,
with the fire still spreading west and
northwest.
The fire is till raging furiously, and the
people along its path are terror-stricken.
The destruction of the telegraph poles and
between Greenleaf and Edmond prevents
the obtainingOf further details. Relief will
be forwarded at once from towns east OF the
fire line.
